The Azawakh – A Dog Breed You Would Love

Azawakh

The Azawakh is an elegant lean yet muscular dog that belongs to the hound dog breed. Its name was derived from the Azawakh Valley in the Sahara desert because that’s where you would find them. Their breed location however makes them quite adaptable to both tropical and temperate weathers. However, because of their lean and low fat figure, they require some form of body protection in very cold weather. But for, the different hair colours in which they come, most people would likely mistaken them for a different breed of Doberman. The Azawakh was mainly used as hunter and guardian companions to people in the Sahara region.

Like Dobermans, they are protective of, loyal and friendly to their owners but can be very suspicious of strangers especially when touched by them. Due to their hunting characteristics, they have a very sharp sight which makes them very sensitive towards moving objects but they make awesome jogging or hunting partners. Therefore, they are likely to chase other wandering animals or maybe a passing bike. They can be challenging when it comes to being trained. By the way, go here The Online Dog Trainer if you want to know how to train the most stubborn dog breed in the world. And you can do all this online from the comfort of your home at very little cost. Sorry for the digression, back to the subject.

If you like this breed of dog, then you should be ready to own a large fenced compound where it can have at least some thirty minutes run-around exercise daily. Their short hair makes grooming quite easy but you are advised to choose shampoos with care since they have quite a sensitive skin.

All in all, this is a breed of dog you would love because of its protective and loyalty nature.

Why Your Dog Is Destroying Stuff When You’re Not Around

A destructive dog needs your attention

Does this sound familiar to you? You go out everyday on a normal working day but every time you return your dog has dug some deep hole in the garden or maybe chewed the seats in the porch or even the shoes that were lying around? Maybe, your neighbours have also informed you that your dog disturbs them when you’re away to the point that they sometimes think your house is under attack from thieves? You can really run into trouble with the authorities if you don’t fix this behaviour. Yeah, I know this sounds pretty familiar but really, this can easily be solved. If you’re eager to know what to do to fix this problem immediately go here The Online Dog Trainer . For just $1 he would help you fix this problem in 3 days, trust me.

So why does this happen in the first place? When your dog behaves this way it simply implies that it’s stressed out. Stressed out because, it believes it’s the pack leader and it should be with you and be protecting you. Therefore once you’re out of sight, it feels helpless and becomes worried that something bad might happen to you and it would not be there to offer you the needed protection. This also means that, you have not followed the 5 Golden Rules of becoming the pack leader. This is very important in dog training if you require absolute control and obedience from your dog.

The point here is that, as humans, we react differently in stressful situations. Some of us react by abusing alcohol, exercising, getting away, over-eating or even spewing anger on others at the least provocation. Dogs are no different! The garden digging, the chewing, the excessive barking and all, is a way of expressing its frustration at not being able to protect you because you are away. There may be other reasons why your dog would express frustration, though! For example if it’s trying to convey a message that you’re not getting. For example my Doberman, Viper, who I used to cage (bad idea) before I met the TheOnline Dog Trainer, would kick his water bowl around whenever she’s thirsty and I was unaware. She would never eat until I fill her water bowl. The message here is clear. At that moment, she needs water not food. However, immediately after drinking some water, she would eat everything. This was initially difficult to understand until I started using The Online Dog Trainer’s resources. Dogs react mostly due to the reason I have given earlier and that is why it’s important to learn how to become the pack leader and take absolute control to avoid trouble.

A Simple Technique To Making Your Dog Meet Other Dogs Without A Fight

 

A Doberman

Have you had that experience when you brought home a new puppy and the older dogs in the house would not ‘welcome’ it? You know, where the ‘big daddy dog’ of the house would growl at the little puppy if it tries to come near him? How about that experience where you meet dogs whilst taking yours for a walk and then it suddenly becomes aggressive and attempts to free itself from the leash to go attack? This can be very scary and dangerous, really, because if you don’t take control and it breaks lose, you’re going to have one hell of a fight that you may not be able to stop. So how do you solve this problem? Now, to even make your dog obey your commands, you need to become a pack leader, first and foremost. This online teaching resource: Stop Dog Fights would supply you the absolute details of how to become a pack leader and what you should do in such a situation for $1 three day trial. I suggest you click on the link and find out for yourself. In the meantime, here’s a gist of what to do.

Know What Your Dog Is Feeling In The Moment

So, how do you determine what your dog’s feelings are in the moment? There’s a thin line between a dog feeling excited and aggression. This can be difficult to determine because dogs act similarly in both situations. The way to determine its feeling in the moment is to observe the other dog’s behavior in response to your dog’s. If the other dog acts scared or aggressive then it’s a clear signal that yours is in an aggressive mood.

How do you fix this?

Keep your distance as much as possible from the other dog until your dog is calm. Better still, there are effective methods you can learn to calm down an overly aggressive dog as a pack leader. You’ll find all that here: The Online Dog Trainer.  After calming it, walk your dog over to meet the other dog without saying anything or interrupting their interaction. Let them interact freely as much as possible but if you sense any form of aggression coming up, pull it away. The point here is to show your dog that you’re in control and you’re not going to tolerate any form of bad behavior. However, if it behaves, you would reward it by allowing it to meet other dogs. Never take your dog to meet another dog when it’s excited or in an aggressive state. It would mean rewarding bad behavior and that would create serious problems for you in the future.

Like I said, there’s more to this so if you want all the juicy details, try The Online Dog Trainer. Feel free to share your thoughts if you found the article helpful. Don’t hesitate to share it. It might help someone.

How To Train Your Wild Puppy Not To Bite

Do you scream at your dog when it attempts to bite strangers? It may be true that some breed of dogs are by nature very wild and would occasionally disobey instructions but what if I told you that the fault was from you? That it’s because your dog didn’t get the right training as a puppy? The common approach to training a puppy not to bite has been to give them your fingers for it to give you soft bites whilst telling them not to bite too hard at the same time. Wrong!! What you were actually doing is to teach it to bite human flesh but not too hard. I didn’t know this until I subscribed to Doggy Dan’s $1 free trial online training here: The Online Dog Trainer .

Here are a few lessons I learnt.

Never give your puppy any part of your body to bite on as a  means of learning how not to bite. Isn’t it ironic that, you don’t want your dog to bite humans yet you teach it how to do it with your flesh? Ok so here’s what you should do instead. Give them anything appropriate like puppy toys or even, some safe-around-the -house things like parts of a broken tree, a stick etc to bite on. If it tries to bite on your body again and again, discourage it by directing it to the toys. I know it feels very good to have your new puppy lick and bite your fingers whilst you stroke, cuddle and almost kiss it. It’s lovely but don’t give it your flesh to bite. There are more situations to get cozy with your new dog. You can give a little scream in pain when it bites on any part of your body to let it know it’s painful. If it goes back to biting again on your fingers give it a time out by placing it down calmly. Leave it for at least five minutes and come back to start all over again. Keep repeating this method, everyday, it’s that simple. Note that it’s ok to tolerate your puppy’s accidental biting behavior when it’s about 8 weeks to 4 months old but never tolerate it after months. Also ensure that you always have something in your hands for it to bite on other than your body part. If you want to know more, subscribe to Doggy Dan’s online Training here: The Online Dog Trainer

The point is, whatever it is, never scream or shout  ‘stop, stop’ at your puppy when it bites on your body part. Instead, set it down gently for some time and let it know that the bite was painful with a little scream of “ouch”!  Continue repeating the sequence until it get’s it.
